Questions

markdownRecommendedDiscussion questions related to the set for use in an educational context. 

 Example:

1. Choose five days from [British soldier Luke Gridley’s diary](http://dp.la/sets/french-and-indian-war/source/34). 
From his description, what do we learn about soldiers’ experience of the war? Use the [letter to William 
Pitt](http://dp.la/sets/french-and-indian-war/source/35) and the [British history of the 
war](http://dp.la/sets/french-and-indian-war/source/36) to learn about the British perspective on the war.
2. What do the sources tell us about England's reason for fighting?  Are the sources biased?
